This page aims to help you remove Darknet Bank98 Email Virus. Our removal instructions work for every version of Windows.

Many concerned users have recently reported that they have received threatening phishing/scam e-mails in which they have been told that their computers have gotten infected by some nasty Trojan Horse virus or a similar piece of malware and that now the sender of the e-mails (who supposedly controls the said malware) has direct access to their computer and could do whatever he or she pleases with the machine and the data stored on it. In most cases, the users targeted by this type of e-mails are asked to make a ransom payment to a provided BitCoin wallet that has been linked in the e-mail.It is claimed that if the users refuse to issue the payment, the supposed hacker would then use the virus to wreak havoc on the infected PC or would send some sensitive personal info about the victim that has been gained through the hidden malware to other users from the victim’s contact list. Other similar threats might also be included but this is the most common scenario. Now, what we’d advise you if you have also been targeted by such disturbing messages is to take your time and try to determine if there really is an actual infection in your computer instead of directly paying money to the online criminals without even knowing whether or not they have really gained access to your PC and personal info. In most case, such blackmailing messages are actually a scam and the people who send them out aren’t even actual hackers and do not have any access to the computers of the users they target. However, to be sure there really is nothing malicious on your PC, we advise you to follow the next removal guide for a Trojan malware called Darknet Bank98. Darknet Bank98 is a recent and highly malicious cyber threat and it is one that many users currently have on their machines so its important to make sure that you don’t have it as well!
